Sorry about your pain.I just took 30days to taper off pain med that I was on for 6month's.I had made it 8day's of totally clean of medicine. Then I tried to go about my life. Horrible results that I could not physically or mentally live with the debilitating PAIN !I had to jump back on the medicine and accept that I will have this medicine the rest of my life to live life!!!I did not want to be on pain medication again but I have no choice if I want to live ANY kind of life.
I personally do not want any surgeries! I have herniated L3 & L5, bulging C1-C5, dislocated jaw~All of these are positive for arthritis!I am in my 30's and never took pain medications before this accident 2years ago....now I went off them and realized this medication is my only option to life.
